Ruby on rails alternative for Php?

Howdy,
I heard about Ruby on rails from a friend, about how it automatically creates pages for adding,editing,deleting,viewing, etc for your tables.

Now I don't know about you but making those pages for each table seperately is about the most boring thing i have to do. So I really want to have that feature. But I don't want to switch over to ruby on rails because:
1) Ruby is not widely used.
2) Ruby is slower than PHP.
3) I like php, i'm good at it, and I don't want to learn a new language

So is there any alternative/clone/duplicate of ruby on rails in PHP? Which has all the functionality of automatically making the pages and other things?

Ruby just doesn't automatically create things out of thin air. There is pre-built functionality that you call to create those items. If you had those same items built in PHP then it would do that same thing. In Ruby they just happen to be part of the root framework.

Might want to look into PHP on TRAX - haven't much looked into it (just Googled for "php on rails" and found this), but it claims to clone most of the functionality of Ruby on Rails, it just does it in PHP instead.
